Leaping on the Threshold

Zep 1:9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap
on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

I see leaping on the threshold as an act of willful transgression, going
where one should not go. It was an act of violence and deceit.

When the Ark of the Covenant was captured and placed before the god dagon, the priests would no longer step on the threshold because the God of Israel was greater than the god dagon.

1Sa 5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from
Ebenezer unto Ashdod. 1Sa 5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God,
they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 1Sa 5:3 And
when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his
face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him
in his place again. 1Sa 5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow
morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of
the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off
upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. 1Sa 5:5
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house,
tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.

Stepping on the threshold, I see as a willful contempt for the presence of
God. Jesus is the door, but some refuse to enter, stomping in protest on the
threshold they remove crosses from public land that which is holy the treat as
nothing.

2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and
to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 2Pe 2:10 But
chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil
of dignities.

Romans 1 speaks of those who are too wise for God.

Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
